To keep up with this fast-paced industry and continue serving your needs, we are working diligently to develop new solutions and tools, expand product labels and enhance our agronomic programs.

In 2022, we introduced Postiva™, a unique broad-spectrum, long-lasting fungicide that combines ADEPIDYN® technology in FRAC Group 7 and difenoconazole in FRAC Group 3 to control difficult diseases like Fusarium, leaf spots, Botrytis, powdery mildew and more. Since then, we’ve been thrilled to hear how this innovation has helped growers protect their crop investments through challenging environmental conditions, significantly reduced disease pressure and even helped them transition away from older, less effective chemistries.

We’re excited to share those stories with you in this issue and even more on GreenCastOnline.com/Postiva.

In addition, we are continuing to drive innovation in a number of areas to continue delivering value for ornamental growers. Stop by the Syngenta booth, #1425, at Cultivate’23 to learn more.

We have updated several of our agronomic programs to help you manage common pests that affect poinsettias, spring bedding plants, mums, roses and more. These programs are thoroughly researched for effectiveness and resistance management, and feature some of our most trusted products, including Mainspring® GNL insecticide, and Mural®, Postiva and Segovis® fungicides.

Lastly, to help greenhouse and nursery operations maximize profitability, we have enhanced our GreenTrust® 365 program to provide the best savings on our portfolio all year. Look for new information to come in just a few weeks.

Again, congratulations to the recipients of the 2023 Horticultural Industries Leadership Awards! Thank you for the vital role you play in growing strong and beautiful plants.
